[RTTY] getting started

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Tad, 

If you are going to do FSK with the microKEYER, you will need 
to use the MMTTY plug-in with WriteLog. There is a timing issue 
between Writelog's FSK and the virtual port software library used 
to build microHAM Router.  It looks like the problem will be 
resolved in the updated software library that is being used for 
Router with Vista support expected to be ready later this summer.  

However, for the time being, use the MMTTY plug-in or use AFSK. 

73,
